I have some serious issues trying to manage the queue in Media Encoder (v26.3.1). I loaded 250-odd items into the ME queue. After a couple has processed, I changed my mind and stopped processing the queue (red Stop Queue button). I then closed ME down for the day.Next day, I restarted ME and I found that the Queue pane was empty with the status saying 2 of 252 items processed, a bad sign IMHO. The Start Queue and Stop Queue buttons were greyed out. I dropped another file into the Queue pane and Start Queue turned green. I clicked Start Queue to start the conversion. ME then started processing the original queue contents from the previous night. Not what I wanted and a bit unexpected.It seems I need to clear out the old queue. There must be a way to do this but I can't find it. I can't select the files and remove them individually as the old queue members are not visible since I restarted ME.So, two questions:1) How do I clear the ME queue?2) How do I redisplay the queue members after
I am not asking for AV1 to replace intraframe editing codecs, but basic decode/import support is long overdue and would immediately improve real-world workflows for a large portion of your user base.Please prioritize adding native AV1 support to Premiere Pro. It is a modern standard, and its absence in 2026 is increasingly difficult to justify.
I'm being pushed more and more into Davinci Resolve due to Adobe's inability to compete and stay up to date and keep us in their walled garden. We need AV1 support. Intel and Nvidia have had hardware AV1 encoding support for quite some time now. If I need to use AV1, I have to export as prores, then convert to AV1, doubling the export time. I shoot long videos, between 1-3 hours in length, and converting takes an insame amount of time. The filesize and quality AV1 provides is crucial so some of my workflows.
As we prepare for the upcoming version 27.0 release of Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition, we want to share advance notice regarding hardware and OS compatibility changes across Windows and MacOS. Windows OS Requirements The minimum Windows OS requirement remains the same for 27.x: Windows 11, version 24H2 or later. If you're on Windows 11 v23H2: You will be blocked from installing v27.0. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later. If you're on Windows 10 (22H2, 21H2 LTSC): These OS versions are no longer officially supported by our video and audio products. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later to ensure compatibility and security with current and future releases. If you're on Windows 11 v24H2 or later: No action needed. You can update to v27.0 as normal. If you're on Windows Server 2022: You can continue installing and using v27.0 on Windows Server 2022. Starting with v28.0, install will be blocked on all Windows 10-base

There is a critical bug in the Premiere Pro / Media Encoder API (app.encoder) where attempting to programmatically queue a sequence using an HEVC (H.265) preset fails entirely. While the API seamlessly processes H.264, ProRes, and WAV presets, passing an HEVC preset results in a silent failure—Media Encoder simply drops the request without adding the item to the queue or returning an error code.Scope of ImpactThis is not an isolated plugin issue. This API defect completely breaks the core functionality of major industry-standard automation extensions, including: Excalibur (by Knights of the Editing Table) RenderSegments Blinkl.io Any workflow or custom JSX script utilizing the Adobe API to automate exports to HEVC is currently non-functional.The Inefficient WorkaroundCurrently, editors are forced to use a highly disruptive workaround: Trigger the scripted export using an H.264 or ProRes preset to successfully force the item into the Media Encoder queue. Manually select the queued
About a month ago I noticed that when I exported an After Effects comp to Media Encoder queue, the comp never came through.Since, I have tried all avenues:Dragging the comp directly over from AE to ME, the ‘Dynamic link’ pop up, loads forever and never actually loads. Uninstalling and reinstalling both apps. Using older versions (not helpful though as my newer AE projects then don’t open). Making sure both AE and ME are the same versions. I’ve reset both and cleared caches.I’ve spoke to a friend who’s having the exact same issues so wondering if it’s an Adobe issue rather than my machine?I am using Render Queue in the meantime but much prefer Media Encoder so ideally need it sorting. Thanks!
It does have a lot of effect layers but i have done one with 16 sec on a similar file and it render just fine even if it did take 19 hour to complete the rendering. i reduce the unused asset, check the preferences, made a new copy with just a 2 sec comp and even try rendering by after effect itself but that doesn't work either. I need to know what can i do about this.this is the 2 sec one

I am migrating to a newer version of Adobe Media Encoder on my MAC (14.9 Build 48 to 24.6.1). I want to backup /migrate ALL Settings, Presets, workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, plugins, templates, scripts etc. I found a few steps from a google search but want to check with an expert to make sure I am not missing any other files/folders that I should migrate over. Also, since I am migrating from an old version to new version ensure that I am copying over only the files needed to ensure a smooth transition to newer version. Thank you in advance! Here’s the steps I found:1. ~/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/[Old_Version]/This is the single most critical folder for Media Encoder. This directory holds your actual, custom-created Encoding and Ingest Presets (like custom YouTube, ProRes, or client-specific export configurations).

After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder 2020 are rendering h264 codec MP4s too bright. The colors are washed out slightly and what I'm assuming is a gamma shift. I'm using Windows 10, After Effects v17.1.4, Adobe Media Encoder v14.4, and Nvidia driver 451.77. This issue does not exist on After Effects 2019 and Adobe Media Encoder 2019. The MP4s look as you would expect, using identical settings for export.One additional finding was that using After Codecs plugin, I'm able to export an MP4 using the x264 codec and the colors are correct. That is also using AE and AME 2020. So, from what I'm gathering there is definitely an issue with AME 2020. I find this annoying issue with nearly every release of AME, and have had it pop up off and on since 2004. This is not an issue with playback between video players, but specifically a color shift in the actual render. I'm not using any display profiles, and have After Effects set to not use a Workspace color profile in Project settings. Have also te
I'm having a problem with video, exported as MP4 - the colors appear to be washed out.However, when using After Effects for exporting, the colors appear correct (black as #0C0C0C, which is close enough to the real color, which is #0D0D0D)I have read other posts in this community and tried exporting software- and hardware, configuring LUT etc. but no cigar. Initially, I thought it was the player, since the same video appeared different in QuickTime player and VLC, but as mentioned, it can be solved by exporting from AE.When exporting as .MOV from AME, it's almost spot-on.However, I would very much like to continue using AME, since it contains a lot of functionality that I take advantage of and gives me a boost in production. Any ideas?
As we prepare for our upcoming version 27.0 release of Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition, we are sharing an important update regarding Macintosh hardware compatibility. Beginning with version 27.0, our video and audio applications on the Mac platform will require Apple silicon (M1 or later) processors. Intel-based Mac systems will no longer be supported for v27.0 and future updates. What Macintosh Users Need to Know Intel-Based Macs: You can continue installing and using version 26.x. Security updates for v26.x will continue per our standard support lifecycle. To update to v27.0 upon release, an Apple silicon Macintosh will be required. Apple silicon Macs (M1 or newer): No action needed. You can update to v27.0 as normal. Moving exclusively to Apple silicon on macOS allows us to focus on modern architecture and hardware acceleration across our video and audio applications. This update also aligns our roadmap with Apple’s transition roadmap: Apple has announced

Hello,Since updating to Media Encoder 2026, I have encountered an issue when exporting vertical videos (using a blurred background layer to fill the 16:9 frame) to MXF OP1a.The exported video results in a black or very dark artifact/edge on the left side of the frame.Additional Details: This issue does not occur when exporting directly from Premiere Pro using the exact same project settings. This issue did not happen in Media Encoder 2025 using the same sequence settings, project files, and export presets. Disabling "Enable Smart Rendering codec" in the export settings does not resolve the problem. Could the team please look into how the 2026 version handles color management or rendering on MXF OP1a containers for vertical compositions?Thank you!
Hey, this is my first time editing in After Effects, im using the 2024 version and i only have 5 plugins installed; sapphire, bcc, universe, topaz and twixtor. Ive been trying to export my project for about 4 days now and it doesnt seem to work, i always get the same crash message, at first it was only during a certain part of the video but now its happening in different timelines too. Ive changed the format from H.264 to QuickTime and the renderer to MPESO, since i heard that could fix it, still nothing.Im using my gaming PC to edit my videos, my graphics card is an NVIDIA 4060 and i have 32gb of RAM, ive tried rendering in the AE queue and in the media encoder, both dont work.Is there any way i can export it? Is it some plugin causing the crash? Thanks.
Not sure how to resolve this, but ME takes up gobs of memory during the encoding process no matter what I seem to do to alleviate it in Premiere. You can see screenshots below (but total memory was up to 98.63 GB when it finished). In general, I've been trying to export a 1-hour long video. Originally shot on iPhone (.mov) and encoding to MP4. My system would either crash after an hour or so of encoding. I think converted the MOVs to MP4s and tried that approach before encoding, but same issue. I had to cut the video to 30 minutes just to get an export to work. There has to be a way to improve the memory usage on my system for this task.I'm running an M2 Mac, 24 GB, Ventura (can't upgrade just yet). I had all applications closed and only using ME. I was also using Hardware encoding (Metal). I tried Software encoding but it crashed on that as well (and 10 times longer to encode). I even tried medium bitrate but didn't make much difference.It seems like ME is super inefficient with
Media Encoder Version 26.2.2 (Build 3) Renderer menu is greyed out with Mercury Playback Engine Software Only selected. System Compatibility Report shows “No conflicts to report”.Tested with NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 driver versions 596.36 (most current) and 582.53 (previous) with identical results.Media Encoder Version 26.3 (Beta) has the same problem.
Quite often when I export a batch of videos from Premiere through Media Encoder, Media Encoder will export versions where the dynamic link from After Effects to Premiere hasn’t been updated. How can I fix this?

Over the past couple years I've exported dozens of long (1-2 hr) 4K 60fps videos with both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. Rendering times were basically the same (about 3 hours per hour of video), so I usually exported with Media Encoder because it was easier to run in the background while doing other things (including working on new projects in Premiere Pro). After Abobe updated Premiere Pro and Media Encoder to the 2025 version, Media Encoder has become ridiculously slow. Exporting a 2hr 4K60 directly from Premiere Pro takes about 6 hours, but exporting that same video with Media Encoder is estimated to take 320 hours!!! And no, that's not just a time estimation bug; I once let it run for a few hours and come back to confirm that it had only rendered a minute or two of video. I've read that other people are having the same problem with the 2025 version, and that for now the only "solution" is to roll back Media Encoder and Premiere Pro to their 2024 versi
Upload from Premiere Pro to YouTube has only worked exactly *1* time. Every other time it gives me a “publish error”. I tried following the advice in forums, including this one (which itself had a bug letting me log in where it repeatedly gave me a JSON error saying “user not found.”) The other thread complaining about this problem is 8 years old, and it still seems like the problem hasn’t been fixed. I have tried signing out from Premiere and signing back in. That didn’t work. I tried signing out of YouTube on my browser and then signing back in. That didn’t work either. This continues to be a persistent problem.
